Right now leaves are beginning to unfurl and early perennials are just peeking out of the soil. ::sigh::<br /><br />I haven't seen that particular kind of Breyers here altho' we have the brand. Our "find" was Chapman's frozen yogurt in cappuccino almond. SOooo good! I'm anything but physically fit but we do eat a pretty healthy diet. My hubby's open heart surgery 18 years ago makes us very conscious of it. He also walks our Lab 3 km faithfully every morning. My arthritis doesn't let me join in, but I do the gardening. Or I will, when things get growing around here.Carol Garvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02182655399708415140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-77522087663315431822014-04-25T21:05:03.220-04:002014-04-25T21:05:03.220-04:00I like 55-75 with occasional dips to the 30s and o...I like 55-75 with occasional dips to the 30s and occasional spikes to the 90s but very very few that high..so summer is miserable for me<br />SusannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-43944428871785062162014-04-25T12:23:26.449-04:002014-04-25T12:23:26.449-04:00You should see what great shape my friend is in!

Bu...We're waiting for the flowers up here, too! But I would never have a garden as beautiful as your friend's! I came close in the last two houses, though.<br /><br />I've been lengthening my walks since the weather is warmer. During the dead of winter, it's a quick run around the block (especially if the wind is blowing!). But this time of year it's at least 30 minutes, up and down hills.<br /><br />And part of Trim Healthy Mama is cutting out sugar. Fruit juices, candy, added sugar in anything.... But the things we eat instead make up for it. <br /><br />I love using Truvia as a sweetener. My "ice cream" treat is frozen berries mixed with cream, with a bit of Truvia for sweetener as needed. The berries freeze the cream as you mix it up - sweet, easy, cool and delicious!Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-88890399466389725952014-04-25T09:13:49.537-04:002014-04-25T09:13:49.537-04:00wow if someone had walked my girls that often they...wow if someone had walked my girls that often they wouldn't have wanted to come home with me! got so tired walking mine when they were young and strong but now I wish I could :-(<br />sorry it's still cold there- Wed it hit 80 here and I was wishing for the cold again - dreading summer when it gets in the 100s...sigh..<br />SusannaSuzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09736403277973311615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-82835394090322052582014-04-25T09:06:10.204-04:002014-04-25T09:06:10.204-04:00Wow, Kav. 6 tsp??

"Na na na boo boo, I'm not going away until your night time temps reach above 0" Gah!!!!! It's been a very slow spring....just noticed buds on a few trees yesterday. That's like a month behind schedule! Grrr.<br /><br />I'll have to check for that carb smart ice cream. We carry Breyer's brand up here so the chances are good.<br /><br />Heard a very discouraging report on sugar. On average we're consuming 22 teaspoons a day and they want us to cut that back to 6! That includes natural occurring sugars like in milk, fruit, juice. The report pointed at sugar consumption being the major culprit for weight gain. <br /><br />I've been yorkie sitting for over a week. Bear goes home today. :-( But while he's been here I've been walking him three times a day. I can manage 30 minutes without sending my feet into a nerve frenzy so that means I've walked an hour and a half every day for about 10 days now. Very excited about that. Mind you, I've been off work too so I'm not sure I'd manage to do that on work days. I need me a dog. :-)Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-1028893540081871442014-04-25T07:01:22.340-04:002014-04-25T07:01:22.340-04:00I love English Country gardens!!!! Oh, Missy, how ...I love English Country gardens!!!! Oh, Missy, how lovely! ♥♥♥♥♥ !!!!<br /><br />Ice cream and carbs... Did you know that a normal Ice cream bar (vanilla ice cream dipped in dark chocolate???) has 12 carbs?<br /><br />That's my go-to ice cream treat when I need ice cream. I can't cheat on the amount of serving, it's pre-wrapped, and they put the store brand on sale all the time so it's crazy affordable... and the kids LOVE them. So does Dave. And 12 carbs doesn't tip me off my low-carb platform. <br /><br />Real cream is naturally sweet but not high carb, it's high-fat. So if you're calorie counting, that's bad... but if you've kind of kicked white bread and rolls and popcorn and chips to the curb... and keep the carb count low per day.... then the high fat won't matter.<br /><br />It's such a big turnaround on what we traditionally thought of as "dieting" but what a better way of doing all this, just kind of life-style changing and not starving ourselves. Love it!<br /><br />I wish I had time to garden like that. Gardening is such good therapy. Plants do not talk back. :)Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-71052930788586179852014-04-25T01:41:31.011-04:002014-04-25T01:41:31.011-04:00I want that house!!
